BOOK REVIEWS Reid, Anthony, editor, Southeast Asia in the Early Modern Era: Trade, Power and Belie (Ithaca and London: Cornell University Press, 1993), xiii + 286 pp. £35 ISBN 0 8014 2848 3; £ 13.50 ISBN 0 8014 8093 0 (paper). This collection of ten essays, with a brief introduction, emerges from an initiative of the Joint Committee on Southeast Asia of the Social Science Research Council and the American Council of Learned Societies. The project was to study the period from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries in both island and mainland Southeast Asia, in view of the fact that, in general, once the teleological vision of the rise of European hegemony in the region was rejected, "historians have not known what to do with it" (xi). The suitably picturesque venue chosen to ponder this matter was the Lisbon suburb of Bel6m in early December 1989. The contributors were, however, largely the "usual suspects" in such an enterprise: Reid himself, who from his training as an historian of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries has paradoxically emerged in the English-speaking world as the "hegemonic" interpreter of early modern Southeast Asia since the publication of his two-volume Southeast Asia
